EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Time is a moving on and we are busy as bees. (Knitting bees ;o) 
We just placed the beginning of our needle order and thought you might want to know what's in store. We will carry a healthy line of Knitters' Pride, Crystal Palace and Skacel Addi and that's not all. We have Bryspun (Flexible) and Brittany (Birch) along with lots of the little things you're sure to need. We think this will be a great start for the Great wall of needles. Photos coming next week.

Crash Bang!!!!?

Work on our space is developing nicely. We were sad to see they removed a big beautiful tree out in front. It was destroying the sidewalk (also removed). A new tree will be in its place and a nice bed of floral to accompany it. Walls are down and wiring in place. The lighting will follow then we get to work on the tile in the kitchen and restroom. Our award winning mason will deliver a great work of art most consider not worth mentioning. Our kitchen will host Hickory cabinetry to accent the tile work. We hope everyone will enjoy the comfort we intend to deliver. Here are a few pics of the progress so far.

 

Tree gone

Found some wires

 

 

In the beginning...

Got Yarn?

We do... Our house has become yarn central with little space to move.

We are advancing into inventory mode and placement of the yarns and venders. We have halve the shelves purchased and assembled with the others on the way. A  few photos of what we have with our Madelinetosh yarns in place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We promised a full line of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift. Now it's time to start putting these "cute little babies" on a shelf and in order. Here's a few pics for you.

 

 

 

Catching Up (Is it all uphill? huff, huff, puff, puff ...)

We know it's been a while since we've talked, but time is short and there is SOOO much to do. Here's a few updates.
Last week was such fun. We signed our lease and the very next day demolition of interior walls began. Before the weekend we were choosing paint and tile. Jim has been busy building our sales counter which will be very unique. Pictures soon to come.
This week we will be sitting down with more sales reps. We've already placed an order with Malabrigo and Cascade yarns, with most yarn weights, nice selection and deep color palette for you to choose from, along with four indie dyers and their great selection like Palouse Yarn Company, Alexandra's Crafts, Stitch Jones and Dicentra Designs. We know of another great yarn store opening up in the Vancouver area, Urban Wolves. We are following their blog and trying not to overlap the yarn selections they have chosen to carry. We will carry Madelinetosh brand yarns but will stock their Tosh Merino, Pashmina Worsted, Tosh Chunky, Prairie, Tosh Merino Light and Home (new line). We already have half our Tosh line available for the opening this September 1st and the other half is coming soon. We also have a full color palette of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift.
There's more to come. We'll keep you posted.
Our location is here, and this is a peek at our store entrance:
